[Samba] samba panic

[Ulf Dettmer]

Hi,
i have got a Samba server ( currently 3.0.5 ) together with CUPS 1.1.9. 
running as a print server for a load of Windows 2000 / XP clients. This 
setup worked well for several months until about three weeks ago (  
Samba 3.0.4 at that time ). Now all of a sudden i'm getting Samba 
crashes for those clients that try to access the 'printers and faxes' on 
the Samba server. In Windows the list of printers on the server 
permanently refreshes, because Samba is crashing all the time. It is 
still possible to print and even to upload drivers to the printers on 
the Samba server but theses crashes are nonetheless very annoying.
I've already tried to delete the pdb's in /var/lock/samba to reset all 
printing related information but that did not help.
Thanks for your help !
Regards, Ulf Dettmer

P.S.
This is a log entry of a typical 'printer panic'. Please mail me if you 
need the whole level 5 log.
